HARTFORD, CT : Driver livestreams himself speeding, then crashes on Connecticut highway on Sunday, 29th December, 2019
A driver livestreamed himself speeding along I-95 across the Gold Star Memorial Bridge near Groton, and then crashing as he rounded the curve of an exit from the interstate, state police said.
Kenneth Hofler, 23, of Middleton, was going at least 102 mph at one point, state police said. He was wearing his seat belt and avoided serious injuries, but was taken to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London to be checked, police said.
Hofler was charged with reckless driving, driving with a suspended license, driving an uninsured car, making an improper turn and possession of more than an ounce of marijuana.
“Sometimes a trooper’s accident report writes itself,” state police wrote in a Facebook post featuring Hofler’s video. “The operator of this vehicle was kind enough to publicly live stream himself traveling over the Gold Star Memorial Bridge while driving at reckless speeds prior to being involved in an accident.”
